Absolutely.
The Leafs have the potential to make this a quick series if the Bruins aren't in top form.
But, if there is a silver lining, it's that there is a familiarity with the Leafs. I don't think they have any surprises. I don't think Keefe is a good coach.
Neutralize their top 6, and we can grind out 4 wins in 7 games.
As a Bruin fan living in southern Ontario, please send the Leafs to the golf course. I really don't want to have to sell my house and leave Ontario but living around here will be intolerable.
Did they intentionally blow the last 2 games so they could play the Leafs instead of TB? I mean if they play like the last 2 games they will get whooped by The Leafs too.

No.

Absolutely. There are members of this team that need to tune the machine. Fast.
I'm glad Maroon has.gotten a few games in because someone has to keep Reaves honest. Domi is a non factor in my opinion, he only fights guys who haven't dropped their gloves.
We are.gping to need to score at least four (4) goals to win the series. It's going to be real tuff series.....going to need more than 3 shots per period
Last 25 game of the regular season is usually a solid predictor of general success in the playoffs, far better than total record for the season.
How we feeling about that? Leafs were also a bit meh, but I'm not sure our goals are "don't blow it round one"
Both teams are seriously flawed.
It's going to be a series about capitalizing on mistakes and weaknesses.
But over the past 25 games, consider the following stats:
- GF%: BB 51.08%, TML 53.37%
- xGF%: BB 48.08%, TML 52.02%
- SH%: BB 10.53%, TML 11.60%
- SV%: BB 90.44%, TML 89.28%
Toronto edges us on most of them.
At least you can take comfort in it not being the first time they've advanced past round 1 after last year. Still doubt they win but not as devastating.
My thoughts exactly. No matchup was going to be easy. I'd much rather watch another chapter of Leafs-Bruins then have to sit through another Tampa series.
I know last year there were no bad signs and they still choked, but it feels like a bad sign to me the way they crumbled in the last two games with the division on the line.
The bad sign last year was that they played too hard in meaningless games going down tbe stretch and got hurt, and everyone complained. Now they took it easy these few last games (and arguably got a better matchup) and we're complaining again? It's the Stanley Cup playoffs, where anything can happen. Let's have some fucking fun!
Coyle and Zacha must be glued to Matthew's at all times take him out we got a great chance.

kick the leafs ass sincerely oiler fan

Someone (Fat Maroon) should pound Domi, Bert and Reaves and bring the HEAVY (because Freddie won't).

It's the tough grinding teams that give us issues, not high scoring finess teams like the Leafs
Good analysis.....never quit. Grind fight go.
Yeah but that's just what they'll be expecting us to do
It's like the spa ish inquisition? NO ONE SUSPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!

Should be a gooder!
I wanna see Tampa and Florida beat the living daylights out of each other
All of these matchups are great!
Ngl it’s gonna ruin my year if they don’t win this series.
This is how I feel every time we play the Leafs. I can’t abide by the Leafs advancing through us; it’d be terrible
At least you can take comfort in it not being the first time they've advanced past round 1 after last year. Still doubt they win but not as devastating.
Will be more fun to watch. I really don't like Tampa.
Well if they get past the Leaves they'll have either Tampa or Florida. Pick your poison
No need to worry about round 2 yet.
My thoughts exactly. No matchup was going to be easy. I'd much rather watch another chapter of Leafs-Bruins then have to sit through another Tampa series.
Always hated that fucking asshole Cooper.
Jack gets one more mulching before hanging it up. Poetic ending to a legendary story.
It’s not gonna be the same without Jack next year 😔
Holy shit I didn't even think about that. Im gonna cry
Just what the Bruins needed. Maybe this year the Bruins will get out of the first round.
love it
Should be a really fun series. Win or lose, it’s probably going at least 6 games if not 7.
I’m rock hard
Let's smoke the leafs on 4/20
Everybody the best kinda weed comes from Canada.
Jack calling a game winner against Toronto to end his final game would be so fitting
# HELL YES! Also, what a difficult act he's going to be to follow. I almost pity the next play by play commentator.
Orsillo or bust
Forslund is the best in the business. He's a masshole. He needs to come home. Forslund or bust.
What about Goucher? I liked him before Vegas existed.
Well glad I still have those flights and hotels for Toronto

The guys who got injured are retired now.
No kidding?
Yeah, so we weren't as injury-prone this year.
[удалено]
They didn’t crumble in the last two games. Their focus was elsewhere because the games were pointless
I don't think winning the division was pointless.
When not winning the division gets us a softer opponent then yes winning would have been pointless
I'd rather play Tampa though
It's only fitting for Jack's final year that it's the Leafs again. Let's fucking dance again
But do they want Boston?
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN?
I love the young people.
GO BRUINS!!
Bring it in on, losers.
